Customer Reviews

These have the texture and "sweetness" of a fig newton— a little chewy and not SUGARY sweet but sweet with a nutty taste. Each piece is individually packaged, which is great, because they are super caloric and you don't want to eat more than a few at a time.

I'd like to begin by saying that I was completely unable to finish this product. After at least 4 attempts to give the confection a fair chance I regrettably had to make the decision to throw the rest of the bag away. This is not the first time I have eaten mochi cakes (although it was a first for this flavor), so I already had an idea of what to expect in general. To begin with my initial thought was that due to the dark coloring of the paste inside these particular treats seemed to have patches in them that appeared rather...unappetizingly grey, in comparison to the depicted pink. Upon biting into one the taste of the outside was lightly sweet as described...and then unfortunately we come to the reason for my discarding of the bag. The center itself was absolutely intolerable; not even resembling red beans but more like that of a bitter black coffee. Although I wonder somewhat if this was perhaps a mistake of the individual bag, or even the brand, I have thoroughly been put off from trying red bean flavored mochi anytime again in the near future.

I've had a mild and very weird flu bug a day before I got the box. (Nearly two weeks ago.) And this was the first thing I tried. Usually I have an iron stomach, but, thanks to the sick, I nearly vomited it back up. The texture set me off, and the flavor did as well. It was like very, very, VERY soft gum. It has the mild taste of rice, and a sweet, (Not very sweet if you're from America. I should know.) filling. I couldn't taste it at the time, though. I sheepishly told my mom I wasn't a fan, and slowly finished it with a bunch of water.

I napped for about 4 hours, and when I woke back up, felt much better, and I tried another one. The bag didn't last the next 3 hours. I ate almost all of them. I give them 5 stars. Even though I finished the bag last week, I've been craving them like a mad woman. Hopefully they'll be in stock soon, I don't think I can wait much longer.

When I first got these I was so excited I bit into one right away with my older sister. The consistency was that of over-chewed gum...and it wasn't sweet at all like I had imagined. So determined on not giving up, I put the bag in the fridge and let them harden a little so they'd be more bearable. When I tried eating one again, I force fed 3/4ths of it (which isn't much considering the size) before throwing the rest away. It was just a let-down and disappointment, they remained in my fridge for weeks before I threw them away =/ I don't want to rid off rice cakes yet but this product was horrible. Maybe try a different brand?

What can I say about mochi? If you've never had it before you just have to try it at least 5 times to work how it tastes and feels through your senses. I really don't think we have anything that can be compared to it in the U.S so the above item description is about as good as your going to get. However, the red bean filling is not sweet at all. I had to bite it in half to make sure it really had filling in it. If you've never had something with red bean paste in it don't let this give you the wrong impression of it. This is not the best flavor they have. I've only other had the brown sugar which is sweeter and I intend to try all their flavors.

"Surprisingly sweet" is an overstatement; I find the beans to be hardly sweet at all, resulting in a ball which tastes exactly like it sounds: rice filled with beans. The mochi texture is nice, but there are better flavors here.
